■ The World of Atelier Firis
On her journey to take the certified alchemist exam, Firis will visit various locations. Not only do a number of people live in the towns and villages she’ll visit, but so do the alchemists from whom you’ll need to receive a letter of recommendation in order to take the exam.
Grau=Tal
The rugged town created in a valley. Since it is built on narrow land, there are also houses built into the cliffs.
Flocke
The snow village where snowflakes dance in the wind. In Flocke, snow falls almost all year-round, and travelers from outside the village refer to it as the “White Village.” There is a rumor among travelers that there is a secret hot spring somewhere in the town.
Reisenberg
The border town. Since it is near the national border, Reisenberg is a flourishing town where many travelers gather. There is a government office in the center of town, where the certified alchemist exam is held.
■ Taking the Certified Alchemist Exam
After a one-year journey, Firis will arrive at the site of the certified alchemist exam. Finally, her test to become a certified alchemist will begin. The test consists of both writing and practical problems, and will test all of the alchemy experience that Firis has cultivated up until the exam.
■ Firis’ New Journey Begins
By passing the exam, Firis will at long last become a certified alchemist. While Firis will be delighted with her success, she will also worry if there is something she wants to do in the vast outside world. Speaking her mind to the friends she’s met, she will set out on a new journey to find out what it is she really wants to do.
■ Various Events Occur on the New Journey
—Drossel, who learns of Firis’ success in passing the exam, makes a request of Firis in anticipation of her true strength.
—Liane, Firis’ sister who journeyed with her more than anyone else, suddenly utters her parting words. What are the true intentions behind her words?
—Firis heads into an ancient ruins with Revy, who is after a strong weapon. Within the ruins, they encounter a boss with tremendous power, and a battle commences.
■ A Costume Made for a Certified Alchemist
Here is the public unveiling of a new costume called the “Certified Alchemist Dress.” This all-black dress gives off a lovely and calming atmosphere. If you synthesize items while wearing this outfit, your style as a certified alchemist might also show in your creations.
